Tom’s Big Picture

1. Amnesty Fails- TWICE- in the Senate. Our Senators (and notably, former Texas sell-outs on this issue Hutchinson and Cornyn) are finally afraid of their constituents despite their wishes to do the bidding of the Corporate-Globalist Elite.

2. The Supreme Court reverses radical desegregation and returns the nation to neighborhood schools.

3. Ron Paul, the most conservative anti-Establishment candidate, has more net money on-hand in the Presidential race than the Establishment candidate John McCain, and is in a healthy third place with money early enough to make a difference.

4. And finally, the IRS and its income tax gets jury nullified in Shreveport Louisiana:

The Internal Revenue Service has lost a lawyer’s challenge in front of a jury to prove a constitutional foundation for the nation’s income tax, and the victorious attorney now is setting his sights higher.

“I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking peoples property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever,” lawyer Tom Cryer told WND just days after a jury in Louisiana acquitted him of two criminal tax counts.

The jury in U.S. District Court in Louisiana voted 12-0 to find Cryer, of Shreveport, not guilty of failure to file income taxes for two years. He had been indicted in 2006 on charges of failing to pay $73,000 to the IRS in 2000 and 2001. The next step in his personal case will be up to the IRS and prosecutors, if they choose to continue the issue, he said.

Spokesman Robert Marvin in Washington’s IRS office told WND the Internal Revenue Code provides for taxation on salaries or wages, but when pressed for a specific citation, or constitutional provision, he said, “I can’t comment.”

Beautiful! The government thug just says “No comment”.

You can see a video of the lawyer explaining his position here:

My opinion of these arguments is somewhat agnostic. I see the government as just another thug with a gun, and you have to pay protection money according to their extortion scheme, our rights as freemen largely lost after the Second War for Independence was wrapped up offshore of Galveston in the spring of 1865. The Old Republic, where men actually owned their labor and their person, died with Jefferson Davis. Instead of just some people being slaves, we were all made slaves.

However, the government must maintain some level of consent, and part of this remnant is the jury trial. The most effective and radical way to force change, if it were practical, is simple jury nullifcation. It’s simple, and you can help.

Make a promise to yourself: “If I’m ever on a federal jury involving the income tax, I’ll vote NOT GUILTY, no matter what”.

There’s nothing wrong with this, as part of a juror’s power is to judge the justice of a law, not just the facts, despite what judges would have us believe.

So join the party. If one in ten people bought this man’s argument, the whole system would come crashing down. Or at least they’d have to get rid of jury trials and thereby reveal the game for what it is.

Apparently 100% of this sample of 12 in Shreveport, Louisiana told the gummint where to put it. A proud act for a city with a proud heritage, never captured in the War Between the States despite two massive armies sent to capture it in 1864. Both federal armies were whipped (helped significantly by Texans, if we want to get technical about it) and had to turn tail and run to avoid destruction. The feds apparently didn’t learn their lesson the first two times, so our dear Northern Louisianans had to remind them again last week.
